That is officially the worst comment I've ever heard. You obviously don't watch him at all. He is infinitely better than Buckley, and every bit as good as Voss. He is the best player going around at the moment by so far it's not funny. I don't suppose you saw Essendon versus the Eagles this year, did you? Go and have a look at that, if you didn't. That just summed up how good he is. Haven't seen Buckley take too many games apart, definitely not as many as hird. Hird is more damaging, and is as courageous as they come. Buckley gets a lot of cheap and meaningless possessions.

If he wins it this year, it'll be because he is the best going around, not because of some other crap about getting cheap votes. He's come back from so many freak injuries and has lost nothing.

He would be in the best 5 players I've seen. Voss would be just outside.

By the way, Bazza is a huge chance the way he's playing.

yeh but hird finally has a good year after bearly showing his face on the ground.... but i dunno i really dont like him but oh well fair point i guess

Hird would have to be the best player going around at the moment. Skills are a class above the rest. Voss is still a great player but isn't as dominate with the dodgy knees, now. And Buckley is a great ball winner, when he is actually on the ground, but doesn't have the silky skills of Hird.

ok - Peter Perfect is a good player - he just gets on my goolies and is a penalty puller of the highest order!

(ok got that off my chest now!)

My kids are nagging about having a look over the weekend, But I keep telling them it is the same as 2000.

Stand out in the freezing cold for an hour or more to see someone we don't know run by in about 10 secs.

But, I really enjoyed the experience, truly!!!!

I missed it - was in Melb for the day, so the closest I got to seeing anything was the 747 it is being flown around in. Had I been at work today, I would have gone in a bit earlier than usual to take a peek, or gone in late and walked around the corner from home to see it.
